Intel Core i7-2629M vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8376H

In this CPU comparison, we compare the Intel Core i7-2629M and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8376H and use benchmarks to check which processor is faster.

We compare the Intel Core i7-2629M 2 core processor released in Q1/2011 with the Intel Xeon Platinum 8376H which has 28 CPU cores and was introduced in Q2/2020.

The Intel Core i7-2629M is a 2 core processor with a clock frequency of 2.10 GHz (3.00 GHz). The processor can compute 4 threads at the same time. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8376H clocks with 2.60 GHz (4.30 GHz), has 28 CPU cores and can calculate 56 threads in parallel.

The performance values of the processor's AI unit. The isolated NPU performance is specified here, the total AI performance (NPU+CPU+iGPU) can be higher. Processors with support for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors.

Graphics (iGPU) integrated into the processor not only enable image output without having to rely on a dedicated graphics solution, but can also efficiently accelerate video playback.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

Up to 8 GB of memory in a maximum of 2 memory channels is supported by the Intel Core i7-2629M, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8376H supports a maximum of 1146 GB of memory with a maximum memory bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s enabled.

The Intel Core i7-2629M has a TDP of 25 W. The TDP of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8376H is 205 W. System integrators use the TDP of the processor as a guide when dimensioning the cooling solution.

The Intel Core i7-2629M has 4.00 MB cache and is manufactured in 32 nm. The cache of Intel Xeon Platinum 8376H is at 38.50 MB. The processor is manufactured in 14 nm.
